Hi Vaughn,
I understand if you want to purchase a new PDA, but I would like to
mention that the battery on your 31 can probably be replaced. All you
need are a new battery (which look like they are readily available for
around $25) and a special tool to open the case. I dont know of anyone
here that has a tool here, but maybe someone on the list does (and if they dont, those are also readily available online).
Regards,
Matt

Hello all:
I'm looking to replace my dead Zire 31. When I bought it I did not do
my homework; did not realize the battery was not replaceable; after 16
months (and 13 months after the end of the warranty) the unit is
useless. So I really hate to buy anything from Palm again after being
royally hosed in this fashion. The problem is, what alternative is
there to MS? (I actually tried a Pocket PC a while back and hated it,
not just because it was MS, but because its apps were so different from
actual Windows apps. The idea of compatibility between the two is
greatly overrated.) It seems like all the Linux PDA's that were out
there during the early years of this decade are either dead or on life
support. Too bad Apple never released their PDA to the market! Does
anyone know of any alternatives? Is installing Linux on a Pocket PC at
all practical, or is it one of those black-market-ROM deals like with
the XBox?
